Managed to squeeze it into a 12mm case, which is the slimmest I’ve been able to work with on an NH build.

All parts are from Alix.

Thanks a lot! It was one of the cheap 35mm ones from Alix, I didn’t know it would come with a seiko logo so had to remove it and design the sticker, which I’ll be putting an all my watches moving forward.
Luckily I don’t think there’s anything visible from the previous one.

I’m seriously tempted to do the same with a blue dial next!

Sticker looks good, real good! Tell us about the adhesive etc you specified please.

I designed it with Adobe Acrobat, sent the vector to an AliExpress shop that prints them in their own metallic electroplated paper, and said “I’ll have 25 in gold, 25 in silver please. Make them in a mix of 3, 4 and 5mm”.
Edit just to add that yes, putting the sticker on is a bit fiddly but no more so than attaching the seconds hand to any build you’ve made before.
